TV didn't work at first, when we inquired, the desk manager said we needed to leave more tips. There was something up with the shower, it seemed like water was coming up after it was turned off. Reported that also. No deadbolt on the door, the frame around the inside of the door was go.e. you could see outside or in. The pigeon poop was all over the patio, and it had been there quite a while. When we were at the pool, it started raining so we went to the restaurant. We finally got a menu, but never got waited on, even though people who came in after us were waited on.when we tried to flag someone down,it was like they ignored us. All in All, it was one of the shabbiest hotels I've stayed in!

In my opinion the entire north wing of this hotel could be improved most by demolition and starting over from scratch. The floor tiles and concrete cracked, chipped and broken; the bathroom windows don't open or close.

The room was musty smelling , curtains had mold. Fridge was worthless. Had to put a 100 dollar deposit to use safe. Ask the front desk man several times to have our water checked could barely stand to shower due to no hot water FINALLY on our 6th day they came and "fixed" it then ONLY had hot water. Got locked out of room one day due to door swelling

We have stayed a Posada del Mar four times throughout the past 4 years. The location is amazing, close to the beach in the heart of Isla. The rooms are basic and clean(ish). The pool is great, and Romy's bar is wonderful. The staff is unhelpful and treats you as an annoyance. Wifi very rarely works and when it does, is only available in lobby.
There are MUCH better options on the island for the same price.

The location is very convenient and close to the beach. The bar on site makes excellent drinks and has happy hour from 5-7 each night. The pool area is small, but nice! Most of our time was spent by the ocean rather than the pool. We stayed in the renovated section and would definitely recommend that.

Love this hotel...been coming for many years. Staff makes you feel at home. Breakfasts overlooking the beach at Penguinas restaurant are great. Rooms are basic but clean and fine...but you really can't beat the location location location. Quick walk into town, to the ferry, to the great restaurants and just across the street from the beach.

My wife went to the hotel bar alone for a drink. 3 hours later she was under the influence of alcohol and possibly something else. I observed her being grouped by the bartenders. The night was horrible.

Hotel was as expected at price point. Across street from a great beach and within a short walk of ferry, Playa Norte, shopping, and restaurants.
As of this review, the beds in "old" rooms were hard, but the view was perfect. Newer rooms are nicer with softer beds, but have an inferior view.
I would definitely recommend at this hotel at a good price.

Hotel Posada del Mar is great. The location is the drawing card, few minutes from the ferry. the rooms are clean and comfortable. From when I came last year they have been doing improvements. the place just needs some TLC.
I will continue coming back and recommending it to my friends and anyone who asks about hotels on the island.
